In this episode of the Evolving Leader podcast, co-hosts Jean Gomes and Scott Allender talk to Vollebak co-founder Steve Tidball. Since 2015, Steve and his (co-founder) brother Nick have been “using science and technology to create clothing that no-one else can or will”, they create (award winning) clothes from the future.
